A serious road accident occurred on Thursday evening, July 16, 2026, involving children from King David Junior School in Ndejje, Uganda.

Reports confirm that the school bus, registration number UA 108BQ, was returning from a trip to Sipi Falls when it crashed around 8:00 p.m. in Chekwatit Village, Kawowo Sub‑county, Kapchorwa District.

The incident killed 20 pupils and 1 adult, with injured survivors treated at Kaserem Health Centre, Kapchorwa General Hospital, and Mbale Regional Referral Hospital; bodies were taken to Kapchorwa Mortuary pending identification.

While returning from the tour, the driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle, which veered off the road, struck a large stone along the roadside, and overturned.
